Hi,
What's the identification used by Sony's PC Companion to know if there's an update for your region ?
Is it the region specified in build.prop ?
Which update do you receive ? The one specified for your region ?
I was on Moonwalker ROM, with US as specified region in build.prop. No update for it.
Then flashed eXistenZ where I changed region to FR (France). Then update center in ROM had an update for me, lollipop .690 firmware. This is confirmed by PC Companion, and I downloaded the firmware (without install).
Then back to MW (US region), no more firmware update.
So, is the downloaded firmware the french one ?
Region is identified by the Customization Version. n Yes, the one in the build.prop .
n yes u hav FR ftf LP.
Nice idea tho bro. for geting LP erlier. din thot of that.. now i kw 2..

i will like you to share my knowledge regarding returning back to own country firmware from the nordic 2.1
first of all download the bin4ry update tool and firmware but not any firmware but 1.6 firmware
downgrade your firmware from 2.1 nordic to 1.6 any countries firmware should work
then change the value of build.prop to your orginal handset value or your choice value.for more information about the value you can search blog
then try to update it with seus. if it say you have latest firmware then repair it with seus and if seus dont give option for repair then use pc companion .
if you are lucky then you will get the latest firmware or downgrade your firmware to your choice of firmware and that is great for now cauz if there is any update for your choice of firmware then you will get update so need to wait for while
i know this work cauz i have done this by first of all i was using nordic 2.1 thou my orginal firmware is uk generic then i downgrade my firmware to netherland 1.6 and then i change the value/replace it with my orginal build.prop and now this mornign i repair my phone with seus and it is working like acharm 2.1 ..hurry guys ...
i have included my build.prop 1.6 so this should work for each and every one
Thanks for share.

Use the NL one in the link above, root the phone using Androot, copy the build.prop from the first post to /system/usr and replace the old one, then open PC Companion while your phone is connected and click update.

Well i tried to use the debrand method which is working with X10 using the information provided by user pulpoff in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835457
I edited my build.prop file using his ro.semc.version.cust version but update service still did not allow me to update from 1.3.A.0.50 to .62 firmware. So obviously there are differencies between x10 and x8. We also do not have database with decrypted x8 firmwares yet and i am not sure if flashtool is also compatible with X8 (it is stated that it should work but i am not aware of anybody who tested it to X8 yet). If somebody is interested i can upload the files from my seus db folder to be decryptedi I have generic global firmware 1-.3.A.0.50 with following data from my build.prop.
ro.product.name=E15i_1241-3728
ro.semc.version.cust=1241-3728
ro.semc.version.cust_revision=R3A
Here is my software info:
phone software version:
1236-9291_1.3.A.0.50
Generic-user
file system version:
world-1-8_1.3.A.0.50
customization version:
1241-3728_R3A
If all you want is 1.3.A.0.62, keep your build.prop version at 0.50, than do update over SEUS with my country info.
I've done this a few times, also I have found nordic build.prop, but alas, X8 has no 2.1 update yet for nordic neither.

Thank you for this information pulpoff. I will try again to update this way. Can you please post the details of nordic build.prop just in case we need it when the update is out.
Using customization version 1241-3728 i managed to get the 1.3.A.0.62 update. This are some good news. At least when the update comes it will be easy to switch to the region where it is released first.

thanQ very much i'm updating nw my phone as urs
Do you have market in this version? and what the languge in ur market
last qusetion is what is the region of this version ?
THANKS again
Using both customization 1241-3728 and 1241-3708 i have market and many languages to use for writing and interface. My phone is on english now. If you are interested in any particular language i can check if it is present or not. Both firmwares listed (1241-3728 and 1241-3708) seem to be generic world but i don't know what are the differencies in customization.
well the phone is updating from SEUS right nw by ur software version
i have onther qusetion
when 2.1 update avialbale , the SEUS will update me as ur country version or as my countery version of software ?
If you debrand using my customization code you will make your phone software same as mine and so will get the update together with me. When the update appears we can always debrand to the region where the update is first released and update so do not worry about this.
wow that what i want
thank you so much
w8ing.... for my X8 to finsh downloading the software then insatlling
done and all the problem with me is fixed and the phone is more beautiful and faster
thats nice
thankx anyone try with me

Hi all,
I've tried to enter these details into the build.prop file:
ro.product.name=E15i_1241-3728
ro.semc.version.cust=1241-3728
ro.semc.version.cust_revision=R3A
with Root Explorer. The file saved and I then tried to update via SEUS however it's putting me back on to my old customization! Could you please post a step by step of what I need to change in order to get a different country firmware to my current as the one I have is from Middle East and therefore doesn't have the Market!!
Cheers
EDIT: Ignore me, tried it again and it has worked!! Not sure what the region is but I have Market now so am well happy. thanks for your previous posts with the customization codes
Great
enjoy , its better more than meddile east

Hi ,
Can anyone please upload Indian firmware for Xperia Sola or a generic one which can be configured for any region.
Also in case that is not possible, can a firmware's region be changed and rebranded as from some other region?
Looking forward to prompt reply from you guys.

Hi !
Using this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233350 I can change the customization number, and I can get a firmware from another region but only serves to the newest version
How could I use it to force the repair with pccompanion and get older firmwares (like gingerbread)
Thanks!!
Not possible via pc companion

Hi! Have you tried flashing an older firmware with flashtools?
Yes, but look for the version of my region, that any other region marks my operator (virtual mobile operator) as an operator in roaming, and the version of my region (Spain) brand as a normal operator (without the R roaming ).For Xperia P I have not a FTF from Spain (IBERIA)
